Main features/properties;

Kuraray is the world’s leading producer of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber as well as resin.

KURALON™ is a synthetic fiber made of PVA, which is used in many industrial applications owing to its unique and excellent performance such as high-tenacity and -modulus, dimensional stability, hydrophilicity, alkaline resistance and UV-stability.

Staple fiber, short cut fiber, filament and spun yarn are available.

KURALON K-II™ , water-soluble PVA fiber, is available to suit intended uses such as water-soluble packaging and support material, owing to wide range of water-solubilities from cold water to boiled one.
